Chapter 213: Mystic Thunder Pill

Is the pressure on the Sleek Team high?

That is indisputable; although they are a team arranged by the All Soul Sect and rank among the top five in strength among all teams, they ultimately lack a Soul King to sit in command and lack a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring that could change the situation.

"I've already heard that the Tianxing Team possesses a Soul Fusion Technique; they previously used the Soul Fusion Technique to defeat the Thunder Team, but the Soul Fusion Technique has limits and cannot be used consecutively;

In addition, several other teams have hidden tactics, and their luck was a bit worse, which caused them to exit regrettably," Yu Xiaogang said.

Upon hearing about the Soul Fusion Technique, Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing, but she showed no reaction at all.

"Having the Soul Fusion Technique as a trump card and being a team composed of a Soul King and members of the Six Soul Sect, they were still eliminated; even now, looking back, it still seems unbelievable," Zhao Wuji said regretfully.

At the same time, they felt relieved for their own team, glad they weren't in Group Five.

But on closer thought, what tactics does the Sleek Team have to deal with the three teams that advanced from Group Five?

Among the sixteen teams, there are also three automatically promoted teams, which are equally hard to handle.

The lounge fell into a brief silence; seeing this, Yu Xiaogang first sent everyone back to their rooms to rest.

"Xiao Gang, what do you think of the upcoming matches?" Fulangde asked.

"Fulangde, let me ask you first: how do you assess the Sleek Team's strength? How far can they go in this Soul Master Competition?"

"This…"

Fulangde was momentarily at a loss, not knowing how to answer; he affirmed the Sleek Team's strength, but whether they could clear every hurdle and surge into the finals?

He dared not guarantee anything, not even whether the Sleek Team could make the Top Eight.

If, during the Lottery Draw Ceremony for the top sixteen, they drew the Thunder Team or the Baiguang Team, could they guarantee a win against them?

As Dai Mubai emerged from the lounge, he intercepted Zhu Zhuqing on her way back to the room.

"I think, for the sake of the Sleek Team, we should cooperate," Dai Mubai said.

"But I don't want any association with someone like you—cowardly, only retreating when trouble arises," Zhu Zhuqing, still unable to let go of what happened back then, especially always comparing him to Tie Li, grew more disappointed in Dai Mubai with each comparison.

"Our Soul Fusion Technique can serve as the team's trump card; only against teams with a Soul King do we have a chance to win."

Zhu Zhuqing ignored him and walked straight away; Dai Mubai didn't give up and kept speaking.

"We are a team; even if you don't consider me, won't you consider Xiao Wu, Rong Rong, and the others?"

Zhu Zhuqing quickened her pace.

……

"Dad, is that you?"

Back in his room, Tang San saw the tall, familiar silhouette and his voice involuntarily quivered with a hint of choking.

Tang Hao's injuries, under Yang Wudi's full-force treatment, have completely healed, and his strength has risen a notch.

After recovering, he rushed to Wu Hun City at once.

"Xiao San, you've grown a lot," Tang Hao said upon seeing Tang San, his tone full of pride.

"Dad, I've already learned everything from Elder Seven; we must make the Spirit Hall pay, starting with the Soul Master Competition."

"But your strength is still insufficient, isn't it?" Tang Hao patted his son; he was trying to persuade Tang San, thinking he could give up this competition.

But Tang San's response was a resolute gaze.

"I can do it!"

Tang Hao was stunned for a moment, then let out a hearty laugh.

Indeed, he's my son; even his personality is exactly like mine.

"I hadn't planned to have you get involved so early, but I think you already have the qualification to wield it."

Tang Hao's soul power enveloped Tang San's body, and the next second it vanished from the room, leaving only a note.

……

At night, Tie Li lay on the soft couch in his room, hearing faint footsteps outside the door.

Soon after, the room's main door was knocked.

Tie Li opened the door with slight caution; the two who arrived were members of the Thunder Team.

It's the two of them!

Tie Li's brows twitched as he recalled them; the Thunder Team relied on their Fusion Technique to cause the Tiandou Royal Team to lose a point.

This battle-tech Fusion Technique, unique to the Fenglei Sect, how could Tie Li not recognize it?

Having spent over a year with Yue Yin, Tie Li had memorized the sect's secrets.

The techniques they mastered are the lower-tier skills of Thunder Dragon Six Tones and Wind God Manual, which possess fusion properties and can unleash effects similar to the Soul Fusion Technique.

However, Thunder Dragon Six Tones and Wind God Manual cannot achieve this; attempting fusion would generate a terrifying backlash that inflicts irreversible damage on a soul master.

"Are you looking for me? Is there something?"

"This is the Mystic Thunder Pill, which the Elders gave me back then, but I think you're more suitable," Arnold produced a jade bottle; the Mystic Thunder Pill inside holds great value for any Thunder Attribute soul master.

It refines Thunder Attribute soul power, enhancing its quality; if one has an ordinary Thunder Attribute martial soul, swallowing the Mystic Thunder Pill might raise his lightning level.

The materials for forging the Mystic Thunder Pill are extremely precious, often requiring decades to gather enough for a single batch.

When the time comes, they'll invite the Po Clan to forge it, ensuring the number of pills.

From the Fusion Technique they displayed in daylight, Tie Li had already guessed their identities.

"You can keep it; the Mystic Thunder Pill has little effect on me," Tie Li said.

His own martial soul is the Shocking Dragon Hammer, a top-tier weapon martial soul, whose Black Thunder nearly reaches the Ultimate Attribute; the Mystic Thunder Pill's effect on him is negligible.

"This... alright."

From their expressions, it was clear they came with apologies.

"I understand your situation; just take care of yourselves, and someday I'll need your help."

Arnold and Feng Yu's faces instantly lit up with excitement; they understood what Tie Li meant.

"This isn't help; it's already us..." Their words were cut off as Tie Li stopped them.

I'll stop for now; I need to rest.

Tie Li signaled them with his eyes; the two who understood suppressed their excitement and hurried away from the place.

Three days passed in a flash; apart from Tie Li, the members of the Tiandou Royal Team did not recover from their injuries well.

At most only half had recovered; the only consolation was that Tuo Yu had awakened, and he had not faced the Thunder Team, so aside from mental fatigue his body was uninjured.

Occasionally he becomes dazed, and this must be recovered slowly by himself.

As the Team-leading Teacher of the Tiandou Royal Team, Zhao Tianhe participated in today's Lottery Draw Ceremony.

This Lottery Draw Ceremony was conducted under the watch of all major teams; compared with the group matches, it was undoubtedly much fairer.

Zhao Tianhe's luck was good; the opponent drawn for the Tiandou Royal Team was a slightly weaker team.
